5/11/17: PROPOSAL for FORGE EXHIBIT
A public art event and exhibition in the Brass Works building to support the expansion of the Goodman Community Center.

 

Install large scale text passages on walls and/or beams, etc., of the Brass Works building. The subject of these texts would be labor, community, and the working class. They would interact with the dynamics of the building to place philosophical ideas of work and dignity into the space of industrial architecture, subvert the authoritative power of institutional signage with irony.
